Workout Plan?

Hey, Im 16 and I FINALLY noticed that I need to be more healthy, exercise more, and get stronger and less fat :(! Anyways, I started my job since around June 2008, I been working at a coffee shop and you get some exercise from walking around, cleaning, mopping, etc. but not enough for me. Ever since I got my job I been eating out, a lot...Like fast food and other junk like that, now its Jan. 2009 and I gained about
14 pounds (from 113 to 127) and I can tell that my belly is getting fat :bncry:!

When I was 13 - 15ish I always was around 110-115lbs and I thought that I never gained weight even when I ate a LOT! But I guess healthier. So my goal was to eat a lot and gain enough weight then start exercising. So now I am getting fat and I want to change that into muscle and just become healthier overall.

My parents won't let me spend money on like a huge workout machine or anything, and they just tell me to pay for the gym instead. But Im in school, work, trying to hang out, etc. so I dont have a lot of extra time. Is there a workout plan I could do?

Like Im about 5' 5'' (6'' maybe) and Im 127 now and how much exercise should I do? I looked at tons of other websites and cant find much help. Is it enough if I do about 100 crunches and 60 push ups (15 sets) every night? Is there good enough to keep me in shape?

Also I look at my amount of calories consumered per day for my weight and height and it was 1900-2000 cal. So if I eat healthier and do the 100 crunches and 60 push ups, will I be DOING A GOOD AMOUNT OF EXERCISE?

Thanks you so MUCH!
 
Pushups, Pull-ups, Body-weight squats, Crunches...

There are about a million variations of those exercises. The only thing you'd need to spend money on is a pull-up bar, unless there is something in your house or yard you could do pull-ups on.

All those things above will help you to get in shape and develop some decent strength. I suspect that rather quickly, you'll be able to increase the number of pushups you can do. When it starts to get easier, do sets of 20, then 25, etc... Same goes for every other exercise. Also, you can do pushups with your feet up on a chair, which makes them a bit harder and targets the upper chest a little.

Hope this helps.
 
They won't let you spend money because they may think it's just a faze. Just work hard and get in calorie deficite (burning more than eating) to loose weight.

Gym is a good idea though, alot more equipment there.
